Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

GermanyNothing. It was all perfect.
Such an amazing place. We were actually very sad to leave after 3 days. Would have loved to stay longer. Directly on the beach and all you hear are the waves. We ate quite often in the Restaurant and all meals were very tasty with good prices. The beaches are rather quite, which was perfect for some relaxed days. You can get free sunbeds if you buy a drink at the Restaurants which have sunbeds or you just take your towl to the beach. Would definately love to come again.

PolandWonderful experience, loving host family, amazing place. Perfect for rest and relaxation. Delicious cuisine, no need to go into town to eat, no need to worry about anything, the host is phenomenal. In addition, we received a small gift at the end. The best place to rest and service at the highest level.

Paradise. The most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed at. Although we booked for one night, we ended up staying longer. Loads of comical hermit crabs, fireflies at night and falling asleep with the magical sound of the sea. We love everything about this place!

PolandI would improve the cleanliness of the bathroom (cobwebs, broken toilet seat), but it's worth to remember that it's a beach house, partly without glass in the windows, so you have to take it into account and it doesn't bother you much, especially for guys :)
The lack of walls and the opportunity to commune directly with nature was a wonderful experience. Sometimes maybe even too deep, because the cookies left on top were eaten by some animals at night. The bed was comfortable, the mosquito net passed the test, and the mood lights throughout the room were also pleasant. If I were in this area again, I wouldn't hesitate to spend a few nights there again. A few steps from the house there is a restaurant belonging to this facility with very good food.

PolandThe location of the facility is unique, right next to the ocean and from the balcony there is a wonderful view. But the waves may disturb your sleep. Restaurants nearby, there was also a restaurant with tasty food in the facility. The owner and staff were very nice. We received a gift as a farewell gift, which was very touching. The room was beautiful and unique, with a mosquito net. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was open to nature, which suited us very well. The water in the shower was cold, but it didn't bother us. I recommend.

United KingdomOur room had broken glass in two places in the front door. There was no where to put your clothes except the one table in the room. The toilet seat was badly discoloured. The bedroom and bathroom badly need a refresh.
The property was in a great location right on the edge of a beautiful beach. Our balcony looked out over the ocean and the coconut palms. Everyone was very friendly and the place had a relaxed atmosphere.

SlovakiaThe acommodation was very pleasant. The view from the window on the sea was wonderful, also the sound of waves. The staff was very kind, they serve very tasty breakfast. The host arranged transport from the airport and also transport to national park Udawalawe and to our next stay in Sri Lanka. We surely recommend this acommodation in Tangalle, especially when you want to have nice sceneria on the sea.

United KingdomAbsolutely stunning location! Rustic but authentic treehouses overlooking an unspoilt and quiet beach. Wonderful owners. Delicious food and comfortable restaurant where you can sit all day just admiring the view. It’s a bonus to have a pool as the sea at this end of the beach is too rough for swimming. For the price, a faultless, thoroughly enjoyable and memorable stay! And loved Tangalle too!

PolandIf you're looking for peace, want to be woken up by waves hitting empty beach right in front of your house, drink juice straight outta coconuts sitting by amazing pool, or maybe even get different perspective on your life lying in the shadow of palm trees - you won't find a better place, especially when you are happy to see treefrogs and geckos visiting your bathroom. Keep in mind this is not a resort with western standards of luxury - if you're looking for such things go somewhere else, maybe even consider another country. Last but not least - special thanks for family running this little paradise for being super friendly.

PolandSome people may find the sounds of the ocean too loud and disturbing at night but c'mon - that is what makes this place unique :)
The location is unreal - the house is not next to the beach - it is AT THE BEACH :) the water was literally 3m in front of the house's terrace. The top bed with no front wall gave uniqe possibility to sleep with the ocean itself ;) Super long sandy beach, palm trees, crabs, seashells, pool, friendly staff. All sums up to a wonderful stay.

United KingdomThe rooms are fairly basic but this is reflected in the price.
Nestled directly on the beach, The Alpha Monkey offers a serene retreat, with beach cabanas that let you wake up to the soothing sounds of waves. Its natural beauty is complemented by an inviting pool and beachside hammocks, promising a tranquil escape close to nature. The fresh, flavorful dining and warm hospitality only enhance the experience, making it a true paradise for nature lovers.
